Band of Brothers
 
The Band of Brothers is made up of an eclectic mix of men of the church and visitors who meet at a member’s home every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. The men meet for prayer, Bible study, and fellowship. Hearty discussions are an integral part of the evening. Members of this lively group take turns as leaders and range in age from their 40’s to 80’s.

Focus on the Family’s -- “The Truth Project”

Coming this fall to the Band of Brothers Tuesday night Bible study.

Recent studies reveal that only 9 percent of professing Christians have a Biblical worldview. Because of this, today’s believers live much like non believers; lacking a personal sense of significance and spending time and money on things that fail to satisfy. We are in short, losing our bearings as a people and as a nation. To counter this slide, Focus on the Family has developed a twelve session DVD based small group curriculum. This study is the starting point for looking at life from a Biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life.

Join us beginning October 7 as we begin this exciting and life-changing study. If interested contact John Bible (704 878-2695) or Bob Pavelock ( 704 838—0516).

Pastor’s Sunday School Class: “What’s Unique about Lutherans?” is the name of an 8-week course taught by Pastor Setzer beginning September 14. This course is designed to be a “refresher course” for lifelong Lutherans, or a “Focus on the Basics” for those considering membership at St. John’s. It will help anyone to answer with substance the question, “Why are you a Lutheran?” We’ll look at how Lutherans worship and relate to other Christian denominations as well as other major religions of the world. The class will be held during the Sunday school hour. Please let Pastor Setzer or Janine, the church secretary know of your interest in registering for the course. Call the pastor at 704-607-9663 or 704-552-8965.
